Two Records Broken. Close to 10,0U0 spectators watched the athletes from twenty-five colleges fompete under almost perfect weather conditions. Two new records were established, es-tablished, both in the distance runs. J. Hoffmire of Come clipped three-tifths three-tifths of a second off the two-mile record rec-ord formerly held by P. R. Withingtou of Harvard! running the distance in 9 minutes and 23 4-f seconds. Another .; Cornell runner, D. S. Caldwell, won the W run in 1 minute and 33 2-5 seconds, thus reducing bv two-fiftbs of a secoud the time made" bv John Paul Jones, also of Cornell, at Philadelphia two years ago, and equaling the collegiate record made by the famous runner, C. I. Kilpatrick, while a student at Union college years' ago. These two performances give an idea ,.- Jf the excellence of the Cornell team, t a still better demonstration of the all-around ability of the forty athletes 'oat Trainer Jack Moaklcy brought fcwn from Ithaca is shown in the fact :. tbat the red and, white teams scored roints in eleven of the thirteen events 0Q the programme. Pennsylvania ( 'rorpd in ten events. Michigan and Dartmouth in six, Valo in eighty and 1 alifornia in five. Michigan Is Strong. K Michigan proved unusually strong in ioe sprints while California upheld the a'hletic reputation of the far west with a strong showing in the field events. ;' 'he Pacific coast champions might have " more heavilv but for the unfor- i, ,?nate breaking down of E: P. Stanton. 'he blue and gold star sprinter in the V !emi-fina9 of the 100 vards. The Universitv of Pennsvlvania team T'hseh early in the spring was a strong " 'avorite for first place, competed under . i a'ere handicap due to the shutting ;';'t of Patterson in the preliminaries. ,e breaking down of Lippincott prior 'the meet, and Ted Meredith's inabil-,f, inabil-,f, T o repeat his vietorv of the 440 in J5 I 1- half mile. j5" aie Is Disappointment. .. ii", : The showing of the Yale team was a 'p-: -winct disappointment to f.he follow-;5 follow-;5 of the blue, for after victories over ,;! "h Princeton and Harvard in the ! 'a! meets, the Elis were thought to ' ... ,rve a chance for third place at least. si1' ;e Yale athletes found the pace too c;- !t in a maioritv of the events and finallv outstripped bv both Mich-,. Mich-,. ;,ti and Dartmouth, the latter team ') Wwg two firsts, three seconds and one ''h. TTio half-mile run. which resulted in record, was one of the mutt ex citing events of the day. Meredith, although al-though he had been forced to top speed to win the 400, but a little over an hour before set the pace with the Cornell Cor-nell runners from the start. He held his own with the leaders until the final sprint for the cord. In the last drive-he drive-he was unable to complete the task of winning two races in a day at such speed and Caldwell flashed across the line six feet in front of G. E. Brown, who collapsed as 'he staggered into second sec-ond place a foot ahead of Meredith. Penn Star Defeated. Another Pennsylvania star also fell before the prowess of the Cornell distance dis-tance runners when MeCurdy. the 1913 champion, and the runner who fought out the last mile with Jackson of the Oxford university, England, relay team at Phi ladelphia on April 25, was run off his feet by Hoffmire. the winner of the two-mile " race. MeCurdy was expected ex-pected to repeat his victory of last year, but proved unequal to the task. He ran a game race and was in touch of the pacemakers until the final 200 yards. Here Hoffmire began his final sprint and MeCurdy could not hold the pace, dropping behind until it appeared that Potter of Cornell would wrest second sec-ond place from him. The latter was not cpiite equal to the task, however, just as MeCurdy could not push Hoffmire Hoff-mire into cutting the record still lower in the last, dash for the cord.
